This is an upgrade the Edge needed! The new Sync4 system is impressive. From its 12" touchscreen to wireless car play, I feel like Ford has done a really great job with this new infotainment system in the 2021 Edge!
In this video I break down everything that you need to know about the Sync4 screen. You'll learn about the new features, including connecting your phone to make calls, setting up Android Auto and Apple Car Play, using factory navigation and driver assistance!

How to use navingtion system on Ford Edge 2022

@CarsWithSteve 2 жыл бұрын

I’ll put together a video on that shortly

@crappiemaster-hl2kf 6 ай бұрын

We just bought a 22 edge titanium with sync4 but no factory navigation. Our salesman set up our phones. On 2nd day neither phone would connect at all. We have to use Apple Car Play for navigation. I even tried to delete both phones but the system wouldn’t let that happen. So frustrated with this! Any suggestions? Thanks

@CarsWithSteve 6 ай бұрын

Odd that the phone isn't being deleted.. assuming you've followed the delete example I gave in this video (it's just after the Android Auto section)? Few things that you could try.. 1. Perform a soft reboot - Press and hold both the Volume Down and Seek Right buttons on the steering wheel controls for 10 seconds. That should turn the screen off and then bring it back up again 2. Try deleting the phone from the vehicle and the vehicle connection from the phone. Then on your iPhone go to Settings --> General --> CarPlay and delete the phone connection from there before trying to reconnect

So can you swap the sync 3 system to sync 4?

They're 2 different systems so you can just plug and play for it to work. You could technically do a screen swap if you find the new Sync4 screen by itself but then you'd need to program it for the previous gen. Honestly it would be a huge pain and cost wouldn't make sense to do it

Steve, have you heard the Edge is being discontinued in 2023?

@CarsWithSteve 3 жыл бұрын

Great question Richard.. The Nautilus and Edge are assembled in Oakville and Ford currently has active contracts with the plant until 2023 to continue building. There's no indication whether it will be extended or not. Having said that, Ford announced back in February that they received government of Canada funding to invest in electrifying the plant with the goal of turning it into an EV production plant. There are 3 possible scenarios.. Ford will shift production to another plant, electrify the Edge/Nautilus or discontinue it. Won't know for sure until early to mid next year though
